This does not always mean flying off to exotic locals or buying expensive gifts (although that surely never hurt) but fit can mean, an afternoon walk holding hands followed by a picnic.

Washington D.C. Words can’t express what an amazing time we had at this museum in D.C. Emotions ran the gamut from high to low, but every single one hitting a direct and profound button inside each of us.

Heck, we even moved to Orlando just so we could become Annual Pass Holders. The sheer joy of watching a child’s expression when they experience it for the first time is something that fills your heart with glee. It is…
